1. Pastor Grover Risner, 10100 N. Stelling Rd., Cupertino,
said he had communicated with the City Momnager regarding
erection of.a tent on the church parking loc during the
months of July and August. He said they emphas .ue
Evange-lism, They .have adequate sanitary facilities
available aid plenty parking spaces.
Councilman Finch asked t., capacity of the church and that
of the tent, Pastor. Risner said t iz_-y both hold approxi-
mately 375-"00 people. Councilman. Finch then asked why
they nec-..deel tche -tent, Pai.stor R3_F_r...er answered that a lot
of people r'ai_11 come 11.to a tent for Services who will
not come into a Church,
Councilman Ncel a.skr,d the City -Manager if Cupertino has
ever had a ojl.milar° request. ';te City Manager said there
was a pre,,,"..C. as regiu1=51 but that it �,;c1s denied because
of inadequate rani t.ary fac1.l.i.t-ies and parkin..
Councilman. `,tok.es asked about the fire regulations. The
Chief Building Inspector said the mire Marshall's Office
has stipul.at::d the -tent would have to be of impregnated
material, there must be adequate ingress and egress, and
fire extingui3hers must be installed. Pastor Risner
said they plan to meet all these specifications.
Coucncilman Stokes asked the City Attorney what the City's
recourse is if the tent is not removed by the end of the
specified time, The City Attorney .answered that pro-
bably the most effective way would be to have them post
a bond to insure removal of the tent and cleanup of the
area. Pastor Risner said it is their desire to meet
all requirements of the . City;
The City Attorney asked whether the neighbors might
complain about noise, late hours, etc. Pastor Risner
said there are no close neighbors at this time. 1"W
Cou.nci_lman Stokes asked if there would be -, public ad-
drr.,s o,�rstem ou..t,z�ine, Pastor Risner said it would be
inr; de the tEn-oG j and ci:i.11 be off by 0. 30 or. 10:00 P.M.
each night.
-.2 -
Councilman Fitzgerald .said that, until recently, he was
living near the Church and. he always felt that church
was a ��very good ne_gi1C)0:1?, 111e wonders, however, about
the noise, etc., that would be gene:r:zted by this tent
situation and whether on not it would bother anybody
living as close as he did,
The City Attorney asked the Pastor if this has anything
to do with taxes. Pastor Risner said it does not; their
only purpose in this matter is:to serve the people.
Moved by Councilman i,'inch, seconded by Councilman Stokes,
to grant Pastor Risner's request,
Motion carried, 5-0
2.. Mr. Stephen Schott, 1408 North Winchester Road, repre-
senting Due and Elliott, spoke on behalf of the Oak Dell
Ranch Development, They would like to plant some
Monterey Pines for about 300' along Stevens Creek Blvd
to act as a buffer in the area that has been dedicated
as an 81 right-of-way. He said the trees should be right
below the fence line, to do the most good.
The City Manager asked.where these trees would be in
relation to the. future curb and sidewalk. Councilman
Finch said that sooner or later, the street will be
widened and feels it would make sense to plant the trees
where they could remain permanently.
Councilman Stokes asked how many trees would be planted.
Mr. Schott said there would be about 20 trees, 151 apart.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman
Fitzgerald, to refer this matter to the City Manager
for a report back at the next regular meeting.
Motion carried, 5-0
3. Mr. Carl.Tucci, 10642 Randy Lane, Cupertino, said he
would like to see more men on the Planning Commission..
He cited the failure to have the last Planning Commis-
sion meeting due to a lack of a quorum.
Councilman Finch said this was the exception to the rule.
To his knowledge, it was the first time this has ever
happened in Cupertino. Illness, or several other legiti-
mate reasons can cause absence from meetings -- whether
there are 7 or 5 Commissioners. He would like to know
their reasons before he.is prepared to form any opinions.
The City Attorney said that it has been his experience
to note the fact that an applicant has a rougher time
getting 4 out of 7 votes than 3 out of 5, although he
has no specific reasons for this fact.
4. .Mr. William Taylor, Riverside Drive, said that he has
submitted a petition to City Hall. He was informed
that this would come up under.the-City Manager's report.
V A. REPORT Of, THE PLANNING COMMISSION (See' Minutes of 4/12)
Chairman Gates said..the.Minutes speak..for themselves.
Mayor Dempster asked Chairman Gates whether there have been
excessive absences of any particular Comimissioners. Chairman
Gates said he would have to check back on the previous Minutes
before he could accurately answer this,

The City Attorney advised that it was not too jigni-
ficant that this was passed. by H-Control before the
Planning Commission acted upon it. H-Control sper.i-
fied that their approval was contingent upon the
approval by the Planning Commission., The.important
thing is that it goes before both bodies before being
reviewed by the City Council,

acres from R-3-H to C-1-H, wea't side of Saratoga -Sunnyvale
Road south of Mariani Avenue, midway between Stevens Creek
Blvd and Junipero Serra Freeway (Tract 326, Parcel 53,
Lot 33)o App--oved by Planning Commission Resolution
No, 253, March 22, 1965, Ordinance No, 309,
Mr, John Antonuccio, P.O. Box 662, Saratoga, representing
Apollo Pools, Inc,, gave a recap of uses of adjacent pro-
perties, Dr. Brown's animal hospital is in an M-1 zone,
Cupertino Nursery is a non -conforming use. The property to
the front and 'che rear of this property is zoned M-1,
Councilman Fitzgerald asked whether this -will be a joint
venture of real estate and swimming pool sales, Per.
Antonuccio said that the real estate office operates in the 140W
carport,
Mayor ,Dempster asked whether the a,,,�,oli.ca.nt intends, to keep
the house there. The applicant said this was 'the plan at
the present t-Ime,
.:la.._.
Councilman Sto _�.;s asked about the parking facilities. He
was told there is ample p.:,rking In the back of the property
and some in the front, It depends on wr•.'it the City would
recommend, There is also the possibility of using some of
the veterinarian's parking lot, if necessary.
Councilman Noel asked Chairman Gates whether there was any
open discussion on this at the Planning Commission Hearings.
Chairman Gates said there were no objections from the audience.
However, this is another case of piecemeal development along
Saratoga -Sunnyvale Road, Ile foresees future problems if this
trend is allowed to continue,
Councilman Fitzgerald said that real estate is proper C--1
use but asked whether a swimming pool business fits into
this category.
Councilman Noel is afraid the same thing might happen along
here as has happened further south, beyond Cupertino's city
limits.
Councilman Noel moved to deny application 6-Z-65'. This
motion was withdrawn in order to hear more discussion.
Councilman Finch asked if the applicant is prepared to put
in the necessary .improvements at this time. The applicant
said they would like to put up a bond for this and have
the work done at the time the adjacent improvements are
put in,
Councilman Stokes asked whether the Building Inspector has
checked the layout, The Chief Building Inspector said he
has gone over the important points with the applicant.
Moved by Councilman Noel, seconded by Councilman Finch, to
close the Public Hearings,
Motion carried, 5-0
The City Attorney said swimming pools are not specified in
the Ordinance under C-1-11.,
Mayor Dempster said he had thought that, at one time, we
were not going along with existing residential homes being
used for commercial purposes. We have turned down several
applications on this basis. As far as.whether this should
be classified as C-1 or C-2 could have been worked out, but
he is against the use of the residence for offices.
The City Manager asked the Chief Building Inspector about
,the matter of off -site improvements, -as far as the parking
is concerned. The Chief Building Inspector said he had
instructed the applicant about this and he was willing to
put up a bond,
:Mayor Dempster noted that the only part that has been used
fora commercial ente.rprise.up to .this time is the carport.
The house was being used as a residence until just recently.
:.The Planning -Director said the present zoning here is for
apartments, and that.would-be unsuitable along Saratoga -
Sunnyvale Road, Rezoning; to commercial is advantageous,
The City Council would h.ave.to make a judgment.whether or not
a swimming pool business would fit in here... He agreed it
would be very desirable to'have a unified plan along
Saratoga -Sunnyvale Road, however,
=1
M
The Planning Director then suggested that the City Council
might want to initiate a. Planned Community Zone on Stevens
Creek Blvd, and on Saratoga -Sunnyvale Road. The Planning
Commission has requezted this, Councilman Fitzgerald felt
this was a ve uy good !Ica.
Mayor Dempster said that if this were ,coned C-1 with the
house on it, and. 'without any conditions attached to the
rezoning, and. if the properQ changed hands, we could be
faced with a, more d i..ffi.c;Ut problem than we now have,
Councilman Finch concurred with the Mayor ra on. this.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman Noel, to
deny application 6-Z-•65 ,

IX REPORT OF OFFICERS
A. REPORT OF CITY TREASURER.
He had nothing further to report.
B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER
1. The City has received a petition from residents who
live on Riverside Drive. This situation has been
inspected by the Director of Public Works, the City
Manager, and the Chief Building Inspector, and it
was not found to be detrimental to the health or
safety of the neighborhood. The old barn and bus
are unsightly, but do not contribute to an unhealthy
condition. It is the opinion of the staff that the
property owner has a right to put fill on her land
that is not detrimental to adjoining property owners.
Mr. William Taylor, 22444 Riverside Drive, said the
dirt has been leveled somewhat, but as it dries up
this summer there will be a dust hazard. The people
who signed the petition would like to see it leveled
down to the point where it was before.
Mr, William Conlen, 22434 Riverside Drive, was con-
cerned because the fill is bordering on his property.
He asked if there are any regulations stating whether
or not a property owner can put fill on their pro-
perty to the point where it affects the view from
adjoining homes. He asked if the City is planning
to control grading.
Miss Stella Gertson, 10850 Stevens Creek Canyon Road,
said she is the property owner they are talking about
and she is only covering the boulders, etc., that the
Deep Cliffe developers shoved over onto her property.
She said her intention was to put this nice sail in
that low spot and plant some trees there.
Mayor Dempster advised that the City does not have
any Ordinances that could apply to a situation such
as this; This is a problem to be worked out between
the property owners..
2. Traffic signals for. Mary and Homestead.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman
.Fi4zgerald,.to:put this matter over for two weeks.
Motion carried, 5-0
3.. The City Manager has.spoken with the City Hall
architect, who told him that evidentally the CPM
report at the last Council meeting was misleading.
He said that we will have'the plans within 4 to 6
months.

4. The City Ma.nag�:r requested a personnel session at
the end. of this meeting,

Director of Public Works stated that:

Items 2 through 8 are progress reports,
Item 9 is self-explanatory,
D. REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY
1. Regarding the covenants with the United States
Government for $250, 000 under the Open Spaces Act,
the City Attorney has checked the Agreements and
finds everything is in order.
He cautioned, however, that if' we should want to sell
or exchange any of the park lands we will have to
get United States Government approval, There are
also stipulations regarding nori-d_tscrimination, etc,,
and the fact that we are entitled to charge fees
from non-residents, Resolution No. 1099 authorizes
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute these contracts.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman
Fitzgerald, to adopt Resolution No. 1.099.

Program as related to the parks program. Repre-
sentatives of the Santa Clara Valley Water
Conservation District announced the possibility of

XI
UNFINiSHL BUSINESS
A. Mayor Dempster recommended the City council go forward
at this time with the Planning Commission Ordinance.
Councilman Fitzgerald feels it is unfair for an appli-
cant to. have to get 4 out of 5 votes for a rezoning.
The City Attorney said he would recheck the State
Planning Act to see if it now takes a quorum or a
majority of votes for rezonings .
Councilman Stokes felt that when people are scheduled
for a Hearing, they deserve to be heard. He felt it
would be in order the the City Coune:..l to issue a
directive saying: "If any Commissioner, on any Commis-
sion, finds he cannot make a scheduled meeting he should
notify the City that day, If it appears that a majority
will not be present, the City Staff should try to phone
those not planning to come and ask if it would be
possible for them to rearrange their plans so there will
be enough Commissioners at the meeting to carry on the
City?s business."
Councilman Finch moved the City Manager be instructed
to contact Commissioner Small and ask when he intends
to vacate his post. He felt the Council should hear
from him first, before any action is taken on the Ordinance.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Award of Time Deposit - $18,000.
On April 13, 1965, at 2:00 P.M., in the office of the
City Clerk, the bids for the above -mentioned Time Deposit
were opened. First Valley Bank offered the best interest
rate of the 4 banks participating.
Moved by Councilman Stokes, seconded by Councilman Finch,
to award the Time Deposit for $18,000 to First Valley
Bank
AYES: Councilmen Finch, Fitzgerald, Noel, Stokes, Dempster
NOES: None
Motion carried, 5-0
B. Discussion of City Seal
Councilman Finch and Mayor Dempster said they are in
favor of changing the City Seal to one that is more
appropriate to Cupertino's changing image.
Councilman Fitzgerald suggested we open this up to
the citizens and the high school and college students.
The City Manager felt this sort of thing should be
handled on a professional basis.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman Noel,
to instruct the City Manager to arrange an appointment
with the representative of Osborne -Kemper -Thomas, Inc,,
Lyssa Ballentine, First Western Building, 1330.Broadwa.y,
Suite lo44, Oaltiland, to place an order, and get samples
of their artists' suggestions,
Motion carried, 5-0

C. The City Attorney, after d.:.,_i.ng a 11ttle rescz*,arch, con-
firmed that it now tales a majoriluy vote of the total
Commission to act upon a. rezoning.
D. Councilman said he recen.l I had occF...sion to look at
pictures taken of the foothi :! is over a. Year ago and he
commented on how that area, has chi -_)aged in that short
time.
E. Councilman S'cokes Isaia he wau-i.d like to go into the Water
Department situation further. With the college, the
development of the Stoneson property, and Vallco Park,
he wondered if this might not be the proper t_Ime for
the Council to have a study presented -to them by
Professionals in the field,
Mayor. Dempster felt the Council should first ask the
Water Commission for a joint meeting and if they feel
professionals should make a study, that would be the
Proper time to initiate it.
Moved by Coun,cilman.Finch, seconded by Councilman Stokes,
to have a joint meeting with the Water Commission on
Monday, May loth, 8:00 P.M., -at City Hall.
Motion carried, 5-0
F. Councilman Fitzgerald asked how the other Councilmen
felt about endorsing the removal of dirty books from
the newsstands, Councilman Finch said he, for one., did
not feel qualified to judge what is morally suitable
to sell on the newsstands; He felt the Legislators can
handle the situation without being influenced by cities.
XII ADJOURNMENT

1. The Clty has received a petition from residents who
live on Riverside Drive. This situation has been
inspected by the Dlrector 01" Public Works, tl,.. Clty
!'.anager, and the Chief Building Inspector, ant. It
was not found to be detrimental to the health or
sa1'ety ot the ne1ghborhood. The old barn and bus
a:-e unslg;1tly, but do not contribute to an unhealthy
:ondltion. It 1s the oplnion 01" the starf that the
~roperty owner has a rlght to put 1"111 on her land
~!'.at is not detrimental to adjoining property owners.
!':. Willlac Taylor, 22444 Riveralde Drive, said the
i~!'t has been leveled some~hat, but as It drles up
:~s summer there wl1l be a dust hazard. The people
v~o signed the petition would llke to see It leveled
~:wn to the polnt where It was be1"ore.
!':. Wl1ltam Conlen, 22434 Riverslde Drive, was con-
=~!'ned because the 1"ill is bordering cn hls property.

:!' not a property owner can put f1ll on their pro-
;erty to the point where it affects the view 1"rom
:.iJoining homes. He aslted 11" the Clty ls planning

S::e said ner 1ntention was to put this nlce 3011 1n
:¡-.at low spot and plant some trees there.
F~or Dempster advlsed that the Clty does not have
any Ordinances that could apply to a sltuatlon such
as this. Th1a 1s a problem to be worked out between
:~e property owners.
